FABIAN MARTI:TAIS-TOI ACCELERATIONISTE!

May 28 at the Galleria Fonti opened the exhibition "tois-toi accélérationiste!" the third solo exhibition in the gallery by the artist Fabian Marti.The show is composed by new works realized using the photogram technique and some drawings on paper.
Our species has a desperate desire for procreation, it celebrates fertility and yet only a few ask whether it is worth it at all. On this question things are truly black and white:either existence is better than non-existence or it is not. Morose anti-natalism stalks the egg. The oval we steal and eat for sustenance from creatures we recognize as living and yet lesser. Lesser because in our sentence evolution is a line leading to consciousness. Let us recall a false memory:"tois-toi accélérationiste!"It never happened. To stay silent is a challenge of immense proportions for our species. To recede from the desire to leave a trace or a mark. Proof that you were here. Fertile, vital, alive. We persist in a loop of reproduction:there are ever more eggs to be made.
Better to revert to radio silence where at least the cosmos refuses to provide a message. Conserve energy only to become ever emptier. Prepare for transcendental extinction as if it were to occur tomorrow. Refuse the air. To witness in the egg an occurrence, emerging as if from nowhere, and walk amongst what can be built from even the most ruinous state of being. Our world is a menacing in totality: Do not take its strangeness for granted. "tois-toi accélérationiste!" Remind yourself:you are as dead as the eggs.

OBEY - SHEPARD FAIREY

“It’s a constant dialogue with the observer; what I do is to send a stimulus and respond with a new stimulus based on the response I have received.”-Shepard Fairey.
It is one of the most famous exponents of street art, Fairey grew in South Carolina, he studied art and in 1988 he graduated at the Art Academy. In 1989, create and realizes the initiative André the Giant Has a Posse; fills the walls of the city with stickers depicting the face of the wrestler André the Giant, the same were then replicated by other artists in other cities. Fairey himself explained that there was no particular significance in the choice of the subject, the meaning of the campaign was to produce a media phenomenon and make the citizens reflect on their relationship with the urban environment. But the initiative that gave international exposure to Fairey was the poster Hope that reproduces the stylized face of Barack Obama in CMYK, has become the icon of the campaign that then led the democratic representant to the White House.
Obey-Shepard Fairey exhibition in Naples @ PAN – Palazzo delle Arti Napoli – from December 6th to February 28, 2015.
